The jurors convicted Rand, 19, of carrying a dangerous weapon with unlawful intent, carrying a concealed weapon, and possessing a firearm during the commission of a felony.

Rand's trial in Saginaw County Chief Circuit Judge Fred L. Borchard's courtroom began Tuesday, and the jurors heard testimony on Wednesday before coming back Thursday for closing arguments.

Michigan State Police Lt. Brian Cole has said troopers performed a stop on a vehicle for a broken taillight about 6:20 p.m. May 14.

Cole said the troopers noticed what appeared to be a marijuana joint behind the ear of Rand, the vehicle's front passenger, and asked the woman to step out of the car. When they searched her, they found a pistol, Cole said.

After the troopers found the gun, Rand admitted that she was carrying the weapon because she and the driver of the vehicle, a man, were on their way to shoot two men, Cole said.

"They previously were in a fight, and they were going to shoot the guys that they had gotten into the fight with," Cole said.

As the troopers interviewed the two, two men walked by, and Rand pointed them out as the intended targets of their planned gunfire.

Rand's attorney, Joseph Luplow, asked Borchard to suppress Rand's statements, arguing that the troopers did not properly make her aware, through Miranda warnings, of her Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination. Borchard denied the motion prior to the jurors hearing testimony.

Prosecutors did not charge the male driver, nor a second male sitting in the backseat, with weapons offenses because of insufficient evidence, said Saginaw County Assistant Prosecutor Al Reimers, who tried the case. The gun was in Rand's hoodie pocket, Reimers said, and the men said they did not know she had the weapon.

The two carrying-related charges of which Rand was convicted both carry maximum penalties of five years in prison, while the felony firearm charge carries a mandatory, consecutive two-year prison sentence. Rand also was convicted of a misdemeanor marijuana possession charge.

Rand, who last lived at 1512 N. Charles, is scheduled for sentencing Aug. 28.
